Container ship energy storage

What is containerized energy storage?

ABB’s containerized energy storage solution is a complete, self-contained battery solution for a large-scale marine energy storage. The batteries and all control, interface, and auxiliary equipment are delivered in a single shipping container for simple installation on board any vessel. How does containerized energy storage work?

What is a containerized maritime energy storage solution?

ABB’s containerized maritime energy storage solution is a complete, fireproof self-contained battery solution for a large-scale marine energy storage.

How would a self-contained energy storage system benefit a vessel?

Offshore support vessels, for instance, would particularly benefit from a self-contained solution, as the electrical room space on board is especially limited. Flexible and cost-effective energy storage system technology would also be relevant to container ships, ferries, drill ships and other vessel types.

How does containerized ESS work?

The energy storage system stores energy when de-mand is low, and delivers it back when demand in-creases, enhancing the performance of the vessel’s power plant. The flow of energy is controlled by ABB’s dynamic Energy Storage Control System.

Why do newbuild ships need energy storage systems?

“Fuel savings, lower emissions and increased safety during operation and maintenance are the demand drivers for energy storage systems in the newbuild ship market, where ABB has extensive experience.

What is ABB's containerized energy storage system?

ABB’s containerized energy storage system includes monitoring, diagnostics and data logging of the batteries and converters through ABB Ability Marine Remote Diagnostic System.
